This was not just to help break a fali, but to prevent my tumbling altogether. lee skaters, Tracy pointed out, keep their arms in front not only to Jook elegant: it actually keeps them balanced. To help get rid of my fear,' Tracy insisted that a fali would be good for me, but that I would need to relax for this to reduce the ehances of injury. I was not sa keen. but obeyed each time she reminded me to keep my back straight and chin up. 'You don't look at the ground when you're riding a bille,' she said. Apart from ice-skating and bicycle riding, inline skating has similarities with ballet and skiing, which makes it attractive to a wide range of people. Au estimated sixty percent of inline skate owners use them every week and more than half are recreational skaters. In this country the sport is regarded as something for the young and as potentially dangerous- Tracy, together with the National Inline Skating Association, is trying to ehange this impression, in the first instance by emphasising the importanee of insurance and the wearing of protective clothing in case of accidentsShe would also like to see the sport more widely eatered for in sports eentres and health clubs, possibly through the building of indoor skating arenas. Having been on wheelsalmost every day of hel' life since the age of five, Traey is well-versed in the virtues ofskating and, she claims, she never tires of the sport. 'It is the feeling of moving, of gliding, I can't quite pin it down, but it makes me feel good,' she says- Like the hundreds who start skating every week, I now !mow what she means.

Inline Skating n her skates there is no stopping Tracy Winters. She spends most of hel' time teaching, consulting, examining ar campaigning on behalf of this country's ever-growing number of inline skaters. Busy as she is, Tracy did manage to spare an hour early one Saturday moming to give me a lesson in the .Ioeal park. The slight unease I felt at never having used inline skates before was not helped, however, by hel' emphatie disapproval as I pulled a palI' of brand-new skates from my bag. 'Oh dear,' she said with a frown- 'You've been sold what we cali 'aggressive' skates, which are no good for the sort of skating that you want to do. They're too heavy for twists and tums and the wheels are too smali. And you've no brake: 'But I was told that all I need to do to stop was drag my leg behindme,' I protested. 'No, no, no,' said Tracy. She explained how she was currentlyhelping a girl who has been off wark for a year with a damaged leg after following similal' advice. Tracy is drawing up a list of guidelines for selling inline skates based on ability, budget and type of use, which she wants to see all retailers use. She has seen the purchase of inappropriate skates all too often before. 'What you should have been sold is recreational skates,' she told me. Ordinarily, those who tum up with the wrong skates suffer the addedannoyance of missing out on a lesson becauseTracy will not teach them. I 32 was more fortunate and, after a smali ticking off for not having knee pads, my lesson began. Away from the critical eyes of more experienced skaters, she started me off gently, simple skating up and down a track on the edge of the park.

0 A survey published in the London Evening News last year found that many people are getting increasingly depressed at the prospect of shopping. and this may go some way to explaining Bryan's success.

It is possible to envisage a future when demand for space tourism travel will grow from thousands of passengers per year to hundreds of thousands per year. Tickets to orbit will cost less and flights will depart from many different airports. Orbital facilities will grow from just being prefabricated modules to
I largestructures constructedfor hundreds ofguests.
Many people still think that to get the chance to go to space you have got to try to become an astronaut. Unfortunately, the chances of succeeding are tiny, slmply because there are 50 few astronauts and there 15no prospect of a lot more being employed, However, you need not despalr because you will be able to go as a visitor. 50 for anyone, the first thing you should do if you want to go to space is save up because the demand is

But like any other business, space tourism will develop progressively. Starting as a relatlvely small-scale and relatlvely hlgh-priced actlvlty. customers will find that the service will be nearer to 'adventure travel' than to a luxury-style hotel. Orbital accommodation will be safe but rather simple. Thls will be a tlme for the pioneers who will not mind the jack of comfort.

Apart from the Interest factor, such tourism is the only way in which space activitles can become profitable and the qulckest way to start to use the limltlessresources of space to solve oUr problems on Earth. And living In space involves every line of business, from construction to marketing, fashion, interior design and law.
[!]
On Earth, governments provide a number of services, such as defence, police and a legaj system. But most actlvities are done by indlvlduals and companies and it is golng to be the same in space. Over the past few years a growlng volume of work has been done on !he subject and it 15nowelear that setting up commercial space tourism services is a realistic target for businesses today.

Photographer Paul Som mer is working in Siberia. 'On bad daysit can be minus 20 degrees,with a strong wind.' he says.He protects his film from freezing by keeping it inside his gloves. 'You get used to it,' he says. Siberia is a far cry from his childhood in north Brazil. His years at college gave him no hint of future high adventure either: 'I workedtwa jobsas a waiter and as a restaurant manager - to get money for college,' he says. And his efforts paid off when he finished his degree. He was offered a job as a journalist in an award-winning newspaper, but said no to it in order to concentrate on photography. His contract as photographer in Siberia does not pay as much as he would have got as a journalist. However, he has no regrets. 'My photos have been used by researchers who are studying animals here. They have been the basis for important pieces in scientific journaIs,' he says, 'sa this is a very satisfying job.'
Freelance photographer Roger Miller is on a contract to take photos of volcanoes, of the lava that Ilowsafter an eruption andof the animallife around these areas. He is aware of the risks involved in his assignments, but takes it all in his stride. By age 11 Roger was building his own telescopes and photographing stars. 'I was a very shy kid. The camera made me comfortable around people,' he says. In 1970 a science instructor took Roger and his classmates to Mexico to view atotal salar eclipse. It was this experience and the help of the science teacher that prompted him to take up photography as a career. 'My parents wanted me to become a writer,' he says, 'they have not lost hope.' His parents may have to wait a long time because Roger's newest challenge in his next assignment is teaching astronauts how to set up their equipment to photograph the activities around the space vehicle. Arter that he is planning to take a year off to complete a degreein geology which he started years ago.
Nathan Ribbs spends a lot of his time on a 30metre-high platform that puts him at eyelevelwith the nests of rare birds in the jungle. The platform is very smali and the danger of falling off it i8 evident to everyone except Roger. 'It's like taking pictures from a hill,' he says. For each of his jobs, the steel structure for the platform orten has to go on river canoes and along difficult forest trails. 'But it is very rewarding to see and photograph animals that few people will ever see. I do this wark because I think these creatures have to be protected sa they won't disappear altogether.' Nathan has no intention of returning to his previous job as a photographer of animals held in captivity. 'Zoos are undergoing very positive changes,' he says, 'they are nowaleading method of educating about the naturai world.But I've dane my share of that kind of photography. This is sa much more challenging.'

When I told people that I was going to Lundy, the most trequent remarks were, 'Won't you be bored and ionely?' and 'Isn't it only tor bird-watcheis?' What surprised me on arrival was just how diverse a range ot activities my tellow travellers were planning. As well as divers, there were rock-elimbers, artists, naturalists and, ot course, some birdwatchers because Lundy is deservedly tamous as a haven tor all kinds ot seabirds.
My thoughts were already turning to the wamn little stone house that was awaiting my arrival on dry land. And suddeniy, we were there. Lundy presents a tormidable tace to seabome arrivals. Its cliffs rise 400 teet, along the island's three-mile length, and tingers ot rock jut out into the sea, making the water dance white with agitaton. It is not surprising that the island has resisted all attempts at invasion over the centuries.
The tiny collection ot stone buildings that make up the viliage ot Lundy are situated at the southem end ot the island, and here you tind !he only anchorage too. The elear blue water ot the
Betore leaving home, I had read that Lundy was tamous tor its diving and snorkelling, but I had laughed at the idea ot swimming in these cold seas and had left my snorkei and tace mask behind. Now, contronted with this brilliant-blue truth, I was almost beginning to regret my decision. I would certainly come to regret leaving behind my hooded waterproot jacket and my torch, in tavour ot a smart shirt tor the evenings that was elearly not needed.

The absence ot any true native population on Lundy means that as a tourist, you don 't teel that you are invading anyone's privacy. Most ot the residents are people employed to iook after the weltare ot visitors. The renta! accommodation is both imaginative and evocative ot the island's pas!. There are 166 buildings tor rent.

course for park rangers.
'One night a pride of lions came into the camp after we had gone to bed,' Michael from Chicago told me. He was one of a party from the USA who were making a return visit to the camp. The four of us on the ranger training course listened avidly to their tales from the wild side. 'The cubs were playing with the tent ropes.' As he continued, I made a mental note to sleep with my gun next to me.
I
As the buffalo charged towards me, I raised the ritle to my shoulder, tried to steady my arm, took aim and fired. The bullet hit it square in the chest, saving us from the dangerous attack, or least it would have done if this had been for real. The hole in the paper target was proof of that. I was in Africa to learn some of the skills that a park ranger requires and, although I have no love of guns, knowing how and when to shoot is a must.

We were practising using real guns and bullets in the safety of a dried-up river bed, under the instruction of a real park ranger called Rick. 'Animals have a tlight zone and a fight zone,' he explained. 'Get up close to them and they will run away, but at a certain point, if you get too dose, they will turn and fight.'

Apparently the danger when travelling is that you might suddenly come across an animal unexpectedIy and surprise it, and buffaloes are the ones that scare the rangers most. 'Elephants usually stop short when they charge, but the buffalo just keeps on going, you have to shoot,' Rick warned us.

Soon I was in the mood for some adventures of my own. The days ahead were divided between lessons in ranger skills, and excursions into the bush. These tours, made either on foot or by four-wheel drive vehide, began at the crack of dawno They provided an opportunity not only to take in (he wide variety of wildlife on the reserve, but also to gain an understanding of the whole ecosystem and the role of the ranger in that.

Rick gave out such pieces of useful, common-sense advice at regular intervals. 'Don't stray too far from the camp,' he warned us. I looked around at the four large tents and ring of stones that marked the campfire under a great marula tree. Whilst all the holidaymakers in the safari lodge enjoyed hotel-style comforts, we had oillamps and showered under a
I had also learned that only a handful of dedicated and skilled individuals can really make it as a true professional in this business. What was called a ranger training course was reallya lesson in ranger appreciation. There was no way that any of us would ever come close to being ready to take on any of their duties for real.

This represents about one week's work and each mirror brings in anything between fI 00 and f400 for the business. As Viv discovered, it's a good idea to find a company willing to sell goods on your behalf. Before long, she was being asked to make mirrors for other people. But it didn't end there, Vivalso had to think about equipment such as the heavyduty boxes needed to send the mirrors abroad.

was knowing
Local shops could onIy sell a smali number because once they had added their profit margin, the mirrors became rather expensive. However, Viv has now made contact with another company that makes and sells mirrors of a different type. 11'91 I At such events, the right sort of people get to see the mirrors and can order them directly.

Canada, I complained to the lonely trees, is supposed to be safe and calm, that's why people go there. Fortunately, May is one of the best months to see bears, I was informed. This was confirmed by a list of that week's sightings posted to the notice board in the park's Information Centre.

Useful phrases Well, there are people reading newspapers in both photos. In the first photo, it's a boy in a library, in the second, a man, maybe in an office. The boy seems to be reading the sports page. Perhaps he's having a rest between lessons. I get the impression that the man is not very comfortable sitting on the table. He looks like he's ...

Candidate B Useful phrases The young people in these photos are showing very different feelings, the boy is not happy at ali while the girl is having a very good time. In this photo, I think the mother is telling him that he is not allowed to go out. Perhaps he has homework to do. Or maybe he is being punished for breaking something.
I think the mother probably reads to her daughter every evening and they both look forward to it.

In this job they can learn how to communicate effectively, and that's a very useful skiii. Now, in which two jobs would they learn the most useful skilis? What do you think? My first choice would be ... /'m not sure / agree with that. Don't you think ...
